I just ate a whole box of cookies to avoid working on my essay. And now I'm writing an update. I don't know what it is but I am seriously un-motivated to do school work. Then I always screw myself over and leave it to the last second. I just don't care enough about it. I'm not in the right place right now. I'm still waiting to hear from Concordia. (wish me luck) I need to get the fuck out. Thank god this is the last week of the semester. Curse God that I have to write a five page essay, see a concert, write a five page concert report and do a project all before Friday. And I haven't started any of it yet. My lack of motivation is seriously going to be my downfall. But then I kind of look around and realize, there are SO many more important things in life. Like this weekend, I went to Vermont with my office when I should have been doing schoolwork, and I really don't care. Like, it was so incredibly worth it (sidenote: I got my nose and belly button pierced there) I relaxed and said "fuck school". Now I'm saying "fuck school" in a different way cause I'm so damn screwed. But seriously, I really need to let it go and stop stressing so much. Life is short. I don't want to waste four years worrying about when my next essay is due.

11:24AM - Funny Forward

This is a forward I got that was actually funny. And true! Enjoy!


4 basic types of chain letters
Chain Letter Type 1:








Make a wish!!!















Really, go on and make one!!!
















Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!!




















wish something else!!!

















Not that, you pervert!!















Is your finger getting tired yet?















STOP, DAMMIT!!!!
Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish. Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to a certain number of people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and then thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, you know, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!!

Really!!! Here's how it goes.

Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

20 to 674, 951 1/2 people: 20 to 674, 951 1/2 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter.

Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

Chain Letter Type 2
Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no willie. This little boy's life could be saved, because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Willieless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Remember, we have no way of counting letters sent and this is all bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder- if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!!

Chain Letter Type 3
Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is absolutely incredible becuase there was no email then and probably not as many bitchy little 8 year olds writing chain letters. So this is how it works. Pass this on to 1-5067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:
Stupid Horror Story #1

Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently recieved this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of shit, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not only did she smell nasty, she died.This Could Happen To You!!!

Stupid Horror Story #2

Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail and ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (hey, some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell. They continued to suffer in hell where they were both cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You!!!

Remember, you could end up like Pinsley and Bip did. Just send this letter to all of your friends, and everything will be Ok.

Chain Letter Type 4:
As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to every one of your friends.
Friends
A friend is someone who is always at your side,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell,
A friend is someone who likes you even though you're disgustingly ugly,
A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself,
A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your pathetic life,
A friend is someone who pretends they like you when they really think you should be raped by a mad goat and then thrown to vicious dogs,
A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet and vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English, no sorry that's the cleaning lady,
A friend is not someone who sends you shitty chain letters because he wants his wish of his crush sucking his schlong to come true.
Now pass this on! If you don't, Satan will screw you in your sleep!!

There. Now that we've covered and dumped on the four main types of chain letters, onto the ironic part. In order for this to get any popularity, send it on!!! If you don't think it was funny at all, don't bother, but otherwise forward this sucker to everyone you know!! If you don't, I don't care, but why not show this around? Take two minutes and forward it. Thanks!

Remember, the moral of the story is, if you get a chain letter, ignore it. If it's a joke or something, send it, sure, but if it's gonna make people feel guilty (i.e. the willieless boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen) or nervous (i.e. Miranda Pinsley who ended up in a waterfall of shit) just delete it. Do yourself a favor, and everyone else in the world, and say "#$@!%#^! CHAIN LETTERS!!"

7:27PM

So I was reading the McGill daily today and I saw something that genuinely upset me and made me want to punch something. It was an article about our school's bloodrive.

See, at McGill we have about 2 blood drives a year. They're big events and they get quite a lot of support and a lot of people show up and give blood. This year however, a new student activist group called "The Second Cumming" came in and screwed everything up.

The Second Cumming is a gay rights activist group. Now as I'm sure you all know, if a male has had sex with another male after the year of 1977, he is not allowed to give blood. (neither are certain Africain people, people who have had unprotected sex recently etc. so in other words, anyone who may have been exposed to the HIV virus). Now, this "Second Cumming" group decided that it was unfair to assume that if you're a gay male, you have HIV. And granted, it is a little unfair to assume that. However, this group decided to protest against the blood drive by telling people to lie about their sexual history in order to be turned away and cause an uproar. In other words, they told clean people to say they were whores and fags so that they'd be turned away and cause a scene.

THIS WAS A VERY STUPID IDEA!!!!

Getting people to lie about their sexual history forced the Hema Quebec (the association running the blood drive) to shut down the blood drive and throw away the over 200 pints of blood they had already collected because they couldn't be sure if people were lying or not about thier sexual history. I know that it was clean people who were told to lie, but any known lying at all is cause for them to shut down. People who need blood are generally very weak and any sort of tainted blood can easily harm or kill them.

Now after this blood drive was shut down and the blood was thrown away, The Second Cumming CELEBRATED. They considered shutting down a blood drive to be a "great success". To that I say "WAY TO GO GUYS! You prevented people who were DYING from getting blood to live. GREAT JOB!".

I mean, COME ON, I am all for gay rights as much as the next person, but to shut down a blood drive? That is just sick. When I think about all the kids I met while volunteering at CHEO who needed blood tranfusions, or even my own family members, I get sick to my stomach knowing that 200 perfectly good pints were thrown away. Also, the Second Cumming idiots were protesting at the WRONG PLACE. The Hema Quebec workers can't change the policy, they're working for the people who MAKE the policy. SO WHY DIDNT THEY TAKE THEIR PROTEST TO THE POLICY MAKERS?? Instead of fucking people who are dying over?

This whole situation has made me so angry. Especially since I hate protesters to begin with. Protesting is disruptive and usually poorly executed. Sometimes I'm for it depending on the situation. Like if this group actually knew what they were talking about and went to protest the policy at some policy makers office or something, but no, they just killed a bunch of people. And they were dressed as trannys while doing it.

You scored as Legally Blonde. Youre the ultimate girlie girl, what can i say! </td> Legally Blonde 100% A Cinderella Story 100% The Notebook 100% Charlies Angels 33% Mean Girls 0% What Chick Flick is just like Your Life? created with QuizFarm.com

You know, everytime I do one of these quiz things, I'm always so surprised at how accurate they are. Gotta love computers!

P.S. School blows big chunks. University kids are lame. L-A-M-E. Their pretentious, snobby and just plain annoying. And none of them feel like it is importnat to wear clothing that isnt sweat pants or pyjama bottoms and sweaters. I want to rip my hair out. But then I leave and I take a walk around my beautiful city, and have a mocha-latte-frappa-whatever at my favorite coffee shop while reading a good book or just people watching and I am calm. I must really love this place if it makes me happy after being in three auditorium classes full of people with Nalgene bottles and too much crap to say.

1 month until my Concordia application is due. If McGill would get off my ass and stop giving me so much frekaing work to do, then maybe I could get around to applying. Just a thought.

8:55AM

So, I had a revelation. You know just one of those times when your sitting there and someone says something and it triggers something in your brain and you realize something huge?! Well I had that. Let me explain.

My revelation was that I don't think I want to be an elementary school teacher for the rest of my life. Like, I want kids right? And I don't want to deal with other people's kids all day and then come home and not want to deal with my own kids. I'm supposed to WANT to see my own kids! But that's not the only reason. I also realized that teachers are assholes and huge know-it-alls. Well maybe not all of them. But I suggest you step into the McGill education departement and see for yourself. They all think their philosophers when their really just....education students. Who got into the easiest program to get into at McGill but thinkg their so special because they did.

And I just finally faced the fact that I went into teaching because I sort of like working with kids and I was like "well its a solid degree. I'll be garunteed a decent job". But that's not a good reason to go into a program! I also realized that this is what freshman year is for. I'm taking what's called a "freshman" year which is where I do an extra year of whatever I want because the kids in Montreal have an extra year of highschool and I have to make up for that. It ends up working out to the same thing anyway because their programs here are 3 years instead of 4 so either way i'd be doing four years. ANYWAY I took and education class and italian, sociology and philosophy and something really worried me. My least favorite class is the education one. ANd my least favorite people are the people in the education class. And that's a little worrisome for somebody who's in the education program!

AND the class is all about how CRAPPY education is. It's convinced like, sooo many people to drop out already. And I talked to people who are almost done in the program and they said "ya its a really bad program. I just did it cause I really want to be a teacher." Well, I don't want to be a teacher that badly. I dont want to be a teacher at all! So I started looking for toher programs at McGill seeing as how it'd be fairly easy to switch. And I saw communications. And McGill offers a whopping TWO undergraduate communications courses. SO I went to the Concordia website. And their communications program is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life and it allows me to do something that I've always thought about doing in the back of my mind. I don't even care if it doesn't garuntee me a specific job. If I have a degree, I'll get SOMETHING and I'll probably get more than I would have made as a teacher anyway. And Concordia also has the John Molson School of Business which is world renowned and has a great Minor in Marketing option.

PLUS Concordia is waaaaaay better than McGill. Like, ya McGill is all famous and prestigeous and whatever but the people are all cocks and I've never been more depressed at a school. Especially coming from a school like Canterbury. I really dont fit in. Whenever I go to the Concordia campus to visit my friends, it's always so nice and everyone's really cool and I honestly feel like I'm at the bigger version of Canterbury. Here's the program I'd be going into. Kayla, I thought of you times ten!

(The ones with these <-------- arrows are just some of the ones I'm interested in)

Then of course there's the minor in marketing which also sounds amazing. AHHHH SO MANY OPTIONS!!

I just keep thinking "if I would have stopped and thought about all my options instead of choosing the one that I just thought I could do well, I wouldn't have had to spend this year at McGill" The brochure doesn't tell you that it's full of coky, arrogant, pat club, assholes.

Now the hard part will be telling my parents. They're going to be sooooooo mad at me. When I told them that I was thinking about going to Concordia even after I got accepted at McGill they were like "uhhh NO your going to MCGILL!" and i was like "ooook then". Man are they gonna be pissed. And when I talk about how I hate McGill my dad just goes "well just get through it and then think about the job your going to have" K number one: your not just supposed to "get through" university. You're supposed to enjoy it. Number two: thinking about spending five years in university at MCGILL to come out as a TEACHER isn't helping me get through. Like "oh man this really sucks and I want to kill myself but just think, in the end I'll be a teacher!" like, no. it's not happening. UGH! Anyway the Concordia program is ten times more me and I think that EVERYONE can agree I'd fit in waaay better at Concordia than I do at Mcgill.

This was really long. And thank you for listening, if you survived through it.

2:21PM - awww!

Big Bird You scored 77% Organization, 51% abstract, and 83% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables. First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type. Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself. You are very organized, both concrete and abstract, and more extroverted. Here is why are you Big Bird. You are both very organized. You almost always know where your belongings are and you prefer things neat. You may even enjoy cleaning and find it therapeutic. Big Bird is never sloppy and always under control... pretty good for a 6 year old bird living without a family. You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Big Bird can be quite dreamy at times and has no problem using his imagination. At the same time he is also practical and can be methodical in his search for answers to questions. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course. You are both extroverts. Big Bird gets along with everyone. He makes friends easily and always has a positive attitude. You definitely enjoy the company of others, and you don't have problems meeting new people... in fact you probably look forward to it. You are willing to take charge when necessary or work as part of a team. The other possible characters are Oscar the Grouch Bert Snuffleupagus Ernie Elmo Kermit the Frog Grover Cookie Monster Guy Smiley The Count If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 93% on Organization You scored higher than 46% on concrete-abstra You scored higher than 92% on intro-extrovert

Anything over 73 makes you a movie whore

(bake a cake)

6:50PM

K this post is for sami. some of you may get it some may not. Actually Kayla will understand so it's for her too. whatever. ANYWAY so about the guy....

(I can't believe i have to re-live this moment but alas...i do)

So I'm at my grandmother's for dinner (on the Saturday you guys were here) and my phone rings and I'm like "ok it must be my mom or something" Turns out it's my godfather.

Him: Hey how are you?

Me: GOOD! how are you?

Him: I'm good. Listen, Pat said he tried calling but you never pick up your phone.

Me:....ummm...oh I thought he didn't want to call me...I thought I was cut from the team.

Him: Cut from the team?

Me: never mind. anyway...

Him: Well he's right beside me. Wanna talk to him?

Me: ummmmmm*mortified*ummmmmmm suuuuuuuuuure

Him: Ok here he is!

K so at this point i'm like "omg I am SOOOOO embarassed. I thought this was all behind me. It's bad enough he didn't call in the first place but now I have to talk to him." cause obviously (what I think and am pretty sure is what happened) is he wasn't interested, didn't call, then when my godfather asked him how things were going, he wasn't going to say "oh i'm not really interested in her" like, he's not going to say that to my GODFATHER of all people so I figured he opted for "i tried calling but i couldn't get a hold of her". But my godfather decided to take things into his own hands and now we are at this conversation:

Pat: hi.....

Me:.....hey

Pat: What did Leo just tell you?

Me: oh just that you tried calling but couldn't get a hold of me.

Pat: oh

Me:...................................Ya sorry....I must have been in class or something.

Pat: oh....ya....

*silence*

Pat: so.....how are you?

Me: good good. and you?

Pat: I'm good......

Me: so.....you're good?

Pat: ...............ya

Me: oh good.

Him:........so what are you doing tonight?

Me: I'm having dinner at my grandmothers......It's her birthday....we're having a birthday party *mortified beyond belief cause it's saturday*

Him: that's nice.......any plans for after? Like going out with friends?

Me: no

Him: oh.......just gonna go home and study?

Me: no.....i wasn't really planning on doing anything tonight *i am such a geek because im thinking he may be asking me out*

Him: ...........oh

Me: so......what are you doing?

Him: working....

Me: oh! right. with Leo. that makes sense.

Him: yup

*silence*

Me:.....

Him:.....well I'd better get going. I have to work.

Me: Ya....wouldn't want you to get in trouble or anything.

Him:.....ummmmmm I'll try calling you this week.

Me: ya.....ok. Bye

Him: Bye.

*click*

Me: SO AWKWARD!!

My Grandmother: EH! CHE VO FAI???? (translation - HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???)


and that is my story. And he hasn't called (obviously) and i am embarassed beyond belief and I will be killing my godfather in the near future. I'm just waiting for the gun I ordered to come in.

2:45PM

So it's official. My daddy got a job here in the M dot and he starts November 14th. I'm so excited that I'm going to have my parents here with me. It's like everything will be complete. I know it's weird because most kids are thrilled to get away from their parents but having been an only child for so long, they really did become the most important people in my life. I love them so much and it will be so nice to have them back. It will also be nice to be moving to a new home in the West Island (the orleans of Montreal) instead of this piece of shit "jenny from the block" neighborhood where I can't even walk home at 5:30pm without the fear of getting raped by big black men.....or Karla Homolka.

But seriously I missed my parents waaaay too much. My dad is really excited to be moving back here seeing as how he's wanted to for a while now. My mom is a little more apprehensive because she will be leaving behind her very best friend who is in a very hard situation right now, but she's happy to be coming back home and to be living with me again. I really hope I don't become one of those kids who can never leave her parents house and like, lives in thier basement while she works as a bartender....slap me if that ever happens.

Anyway on that good news, I will now switch subjects to Marie-Soleil. And no folks, I'm not talking about the Marie-Soleil who had that bilingual kids show with the crazy clown and the bilingual dog. Oh no, there is a girl in my philosophical foundations class named marie-fucking-soleil and she is the biggest bitch I have ever encountered in my life.

She's all (in quebecer french accent) "..well I come from zis little french town up north in quebec nd it ees so much nicer den here. I don't teenk i can ever get used to de city. eet ees too big for me and everybody is so pushy. I hate it here"

Rest of the class: *blank stares*

But thats not the worst of it, we have this thing called Web CT which like, posts all the assignments for the class on the web and like, you can talk to other classmates, well some people decided to use it to ask about classes they missed and stuff which made perfect sense to me however Marie Soleil comes in the next day with this comment:

"Ummm excuse me professor White (puts up her hand) I ave an announcement to make. I just want to say that it really bothers me that people are not paying attention in class. When I go on Web Ct they are asking questions that were already adressed in class and I theenk that everyone should just listen. If we all listened in class then nobody would be wasting my time because eet wastes my time to have to read your comments on web ct just because you don't leesin in class. so I just wanted to say that that really bothers me and is a waste of everybody's time."

*silence*

Ok thanks mary fucking sunshine. Sorry we're wasting your precious time. What is our asking questions taking up too much of the time that you use to go fuck the prof for grades? I don't care if your named after a crappy canadian bilingual kids show and that you miss your "small town" quebec. If you don't like it here, leave. No ones asking you to stay and trust me, we want you to go. she's become the running joke of our class. Her and her little posse of "go-getters" who sit at the front of the class every single day and do extra work finding articles that the class might find "interesting". Please. NO one's interested in the class to begin with and we all know it's a lame required credit and we also know that those articles you bring in are suck up articles so just save yourself the embarassment. We promise we won't talk behind your back and scretely laugh at you if you just stop now...well....maybe we'll still laugh.


anyway i had to get that off my chest because she's been bothering me for so long now. Like, everything about her is starting to really piss me off. I hate suck-ups. I miss normal people. I miss high school.
